I once had a webpage that went into details abotu problems with these engines. Does anybody have it for this guy?

Basically from what I remember, these 3.5L engines were prone to failure due to engineering defects. Most fail under 100,000 miles but I have heard of one lasting as long as 160,000. High oil consumption and knocking are signs that the cylinders are becoming out of round due to one or more rods being bent.
